Hangin' with my bros!

Had an awesome trip to Kelowna first week of August to see some old friends and their families and to meet some new friends as well. As luck would have it I got to see the entire Keesey clan (well the ones I know, anyway!) Greg, Jackie, Suzanne, her husband Mark and their two kids Jack and Claire; Scott, Jennie, and their two kids Sabine and Liam. Very nice to see them all again, albeit a short visit. Will possibly get to see Suzy and Mark in Hong Kong which is where they currently reside, as it would be a stop along the way on my trip to Vietnam next spring. Bonus was that I got to spend an afternoon and evening with Scott, Jennie, and their kids on Scotty W's boat in Kelowna on Thursday. We had a really nice day on the water then a really nice dinner and evening at Dominika and Kasha's new place with more water time apre dinner at their pool. (Kasha loves to swim!) Ahhhh....What great memories of hitting the water with Keese and Wesol, it was so sweet to hang with my old bros again!! Lots of laughs and stories were exchanged, plans have been made, and I'm really stoked to see the gang next March in Vietnam (and sooner of course!)

'The boat'. Mark and his bro Chris own this boat together. Mark keeps the boat in Calgary as his bro and family live in Hong Kong

The boat is a SVFARA, a very high-end wakeboard, wakesurf boat. What a beautiful setup for spending some time on the water!

Geared up, coolered up, ready to rock!

Kimmer putting aside the aches from yesterdays session!

A little bigger than anticipated

KaBOOM!

Get back here you handle you!!

Well it was a fantastic week with some great people!  Very nice to meet Mark, Kim, and Mark's family Chris, Tracy, and their two boys. Hoping to hook up with Mark in Calgary after I'm back from Estonia and spend a little more time behind the boat; sure missing those days of spending my summers on the water! Ciao for now.....
